Problem
I tried to to start the OEM and it gives the error message VTK100...,I realised the oracle management has not started!,I configured it to start automatically and several time I have tried to start it manually nothing has work so far,it give the following error message

"Could not start the oracleorahome81ManagementServer service on local computer
Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion"

I went thru metalink and found the following document which might be of help to you

Goal: How to Troubleshoot Management Server Startup Errors

Fact: Oracle Enterprise Manager
Fact: Oracle Management Server

Change: NOTE ROLE: EM CONSOLE ERROR
The Oracle Management Server (OMS) is the middle-tier of the Enterprise
Management (EM) Framework. If the OMS process is not running, the EM Console
will not start because it must make a connection to the OMS. If this
connection attempt fails for any reason, the EM Client will receive the error:

VTK-1000: Unable to connect to Management Server
Please verify that you have entered the correct name and
status of the Oracle Management Server
OK

Fix: If the OMS will not start successfully, follow this checklist:

1. Start the OMS from a command prompt by typing:
oemctrl start oms

2. Look for errors. They will either be displayed to the screen or
captured in the sysman\log\oms.log file.

NOTE: On NT: 2140 and 1067 are common errors displayed to the screen.
Check the oms.log file for a more descriptive error.

3. The solution will vary depending upon the actual error encountered.

1. The EM Repository Schema is not created. (ora-1017)
2. The EM Repository Schema objects have been dropped. (ora-942)
3. The EM Repository Database is down or not accepting connections.
4. The Repository Password is incorrect in omsconfig.properties file.(ora-1031)
5. The OMS cannot resolve the EM Repository's TNS alias. (ORA-12154, ORA-12203)
6. The OMS cannot resolve the EM Repository Server's hostname. (ORA-12545)
7. The OMS is not installed correctly. (ORA-12154; VXA-2017)
8. The EM Repository version is not compatible with the OMS version.
9. The EM Repository Database is still starting up. (VXA-2018,ORA-01034)
10. The EM Repository Database rollback segments are offline. (VXA-2019,VXA-2021)
11. The EM Repository Database's Node Has Been Given a New IP Address.
12. The EM Repository Database Is Moved To A Different Node Without Updating Files
13. The omsconfig.properties file might be missing (NT - 203). No log will be generated.
14. The omsconfig.properties file was created with security option enabled.
15. The OMS was not started with the correct syntax. (VXA-2008)
